Tasting notes
A straightforward, somewhat monolithic style of wine from Jean-Michel Dubos, who was the former regisseur at the famed Beausejour-Duffau estate in St.-Emilion, this 2010 displays sweet, herbaceously tinged red and black currant fruit as well as hints of smoke, earth and roasted herbs. This medium-bodied wine is best drunk over the next 5-7 years.

Dark crimson. Very fresh and thick. Dense and lively and very impressive. Very well done. Coats the palate. Exceptional for a minor St-Estèphe. (JR)
A fairly simple St Estephe with firm tannins and blackberry fruit that is in balance with its tannic structure. Drink after a few years of bottle age when the tannins will have softened - it's not a wine for long aging. Jeannie Cho Lee MW asianpalate.com
Primeur sample at the Vintex tasting. This consistent Saint Estèphe Cru Bourgeois is slightly smudged on the nose but develops some attractive floral, violet notes with time: ripe and almost exotic. The palate is full-bodied with ripe, dense tannins, good acidity, nicely composure towards the delineated finish. Everything in its right place, once that nose clears up this will be a very commendable 2010 for mid-term aging. Tasted April 2011. Neal Martin erobertparker.com
